Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 439

All eyes turned to Geneva, her revelation dangling tantalizingly in the air. Catherine blurted out, "For

heaven's sake, Geneva, spill the beans already!"

Geneva simply laughed before carrying on, "I mean, Sophie just laid it out for her, plain and simple.

This was a small-scale operation, just borrowing a lump sum from the upper crust to tide things over.

"Damn, that's some pretty convincing talk!" Catherine snorted with disbelief.

"There’s more," Geneva said. "Sophie tells Jessica, if word gets out and people find out, they won’t be

able to keep doing it. For a businessperson, nothing's more taboo than a broken cash flow. Quick

turnover—that's the name of the game. Before outsiders catch a whiff, you've bounced back without

anyone seeing you ever short for cash."

Janice was impressed. "I've got to hand it to Sophie; she's got the gift of the gab." She turned to

Geneva, "You sure you didn't coach her?"

"Not at all," Geneva assured her. "Sophie's flying solo on this one! She can handle Jessica no

problem."

"And she does," I chuckled, "Sophie totally nailed Jessica's Achilles' heel!"

Geneva nodded, "Sophie's casual as can be, telling Jessica she couldn't care less who's short on cash.

'As long as they pay me a sweet enough interest and settle up on time, I'm golden. Why should I be

content with pocket change when I could be making more money?

She was convincing, and Jessica bought it. Sophie kept it real with her, like, 'Listen up, don't say I didn't

warn you. Don't get greedy. There's risk in every investment. And who we're dealing with here? That's

anybody's guess! If things go south, don't come crying to me.'

And she adds, 'Keep this to yourself. This is my exclusive scoop. Start yapping about it and we'll both

be in hot water. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Take your tidy profit and zip it. Making waves

benefits no one. I’m helping you out, so let’s make money together.’ “

Janice burst out laughing, "I mean, come on, with a disclaimer like that, Jessica still bites? Does she

even have a brain?"

We all shared a laugh.

Geneva added, "And Sophie plays the regret card, telling Jessica she just got carried away the other

day, and that’s how she told Jessica. 'Don't contact me often. If my hubby finds out I'm doling out cash

left and right, he'll cut off my allowance, and then I'm toast.'"

We were all ears, eating up the juicy gossip with a laugh.

"Who knew Sophie was such a natural actress?" Janice chuckled with approval.

I almost laughed out loud; the curiosity was palpable and oddly therapeutic.

I dismissed the thought with a sneer, "Sophie messed with Jessica’s head." Content of

"And what happened next? She put more money down?" Catherine was eager for the outcome. "How

much this time?"
